Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Karmattacker Dana (@Karmattacker) reported

    @SpitefulPumpkin Overwatch seems to have an issue of there being breadcrumbs of good ideas but instead of actually making good on it they just let fans fill in blanks that aren't there so they don't have to do it themselves.

  • denniswolf8 dennis wolf (@denniswolf8) reported

    @Crowdottexe @NyanSox It still is gambling as you have 0 influence in what your reward is. Yes overwatch loot boxes are the most fair in the industry and I don't have a problem with them (if you can't buy them real money).

  • xLeBumbleBee ♡Bumble♡ (@xLeBumbleBee) reported

    When you wanna do the #overwatch pick em and can't because every time you load the website you get a 505 Error

  • rollplaya90 Maxwell Ascension (@rollplaya90) reported

    Did the server boot anyone out of an already going match and put them into a new one saying "unexpected error server closed" in overwatch 2?

  • mcspeedsteryt mcspeedster (@mcspeedsteryt) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch 2, you are ruining a good game

  • batis_dimitri Dimitri Batis (@batis_dimitri) reported

    @BlizzardCS I've done my placements for damage 5 times in Overwatch 2 and every single time I've been placed in bronze 5, none of my friends seem to have this issue

  • Poohvakin Crazy 🏳️‍🌈 Bozo (@Poohvakin) reported

    Man these kids complaining about roadhog being broken on overwatch are actually dumb as hell Like bro come on, he's a tank of course you're not killing him with 1 mag dump, its simply a skill issue on your end

  • shinndjo ShinnDjo (@shinndjo) reported

    @OverwatchEU getting in to overwatch 2 ,and i mean only the Login formalities, has to be one of the worst and biggest hustles i ever had to go through!💀 IT IS crazy to think someone thought this is good Idea 😵

  • by_kriti Kriti (@by_kriti) reported

    The hate some people have for fat people existing is ******* crazy. This guy on TikTok cosplayed as a character from overwatch that happens to be fat as well and people STILL had an issue with it and we’re being fatphobic. It was mostly men too.

  • rebelRAT001 rebel rat 👑🐷🎗 (@rebelRAT001) reported

    I've reached Overwatch 2 BP lvl 50 and the Mercy Miko skin is pretty, but I will not drop a cent on this game's battle pass premium until they fix their sh**. I may not entirely know what's going on, but I know enough to realize they haven't earned my money for what they've done.

  • marvotron NOT_MDK (@marvotron) reported

    overwatch matchmaking is so broken its actually quite funny

  • nosreffeJtnayrB Bryant Jefferson (@nosreffeJtnayrB) reported

    The problem with being the one who plays supports/heals in games is that I really have to get used to being yelled at for other people overheating. Just because I'm Sage in Valorant or Mercy in Overwatch does not mean I can solve for you not being very good

  • leekatv Chris (@leekatv) reported

    @Herotherogue @Wh0isDaveEast Prot paladin has a neat set of abilities, the problem is no one else is having any fun. I wonder if there's a world where an Overwatch format would work for 5s (2h 2dps 1tank)

  • Veilynne Veilynne (@Veilynne) reported

    Overwatch League proving Zarya isn't broken, you're just **** at Winston.

  • SC21012022 S C (@SC21012022) reported

    @LifeatBlizzard @InnerslothDevs Every voice matters - looks at the overwatch team - yeah good joke, games a toxic pit of **** atm, fix it, people aren’t happy. So much for your defence matrix bullshit, same toxic bullies go on not punished yet you seem to keep saying - the game is improved. Hardly.

  • Aumight_ Aumight (@Aumight_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey overwatch, if you're gonna force us to buy skins now, at least make it so the shop actually rotates, ive had enough currency for a skin I could have easily bought in OW1 no problem, but now im forced to watch the same bundles show up every time my shop "refreshes"

  • pinkdevilhero Nic ♡ (@pinkdevilhero) reported

    They should invent an overwatch server that doesn’t disconnect me every 5 seconds

  • TheZerosJourney TheZerosJourney (@TheZerosJourney) reported

    My out of nowhere addiction to Overwatch 2 is really starting to become a problem. I need/wanna stream more often but instead I just play OW2.

  • Agediho Oh no - Goat Milk (@Agediho) reported

    Hating wrecking ball in overwatch 2 is a skill issue

  • arcrushed arc (@arcrushed) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX URT FICKING GAMRE ANJD GIVE ME A FUCKI G TANK THAT CAN GET MORE DAMAGE THAN A ****** HEALER HPOLY **** UYR GAME SUCKS AND U SPENT LIKER 6 FUCK89ING YEARS ON IT

  • DarkCloudXV 🌫ℭ𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡🌫 (@DarkCloudXV) reported

    @zejibo @GetterOfficial They should just take it out for cross-play, overwatch 2 does this (that game has other problems tho lol)

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @XcloudTimdog With only COD Mobile and Candy Crush right. I don't think so as ActivisionBlizzard main outputs are Console and PC games like Spyro, Crash, WOW, Overwatch, Tony Hawk games, Guitar Hero, Star Craft, Hearthstone,Diablo, Skylanders, and Prototype. So no it's not about mobile games.

  • Pxckednath 🇵🇸 (@Pxckednath) reported

    Overwatch need to fix their ranking system theres no way i’ve placed bronze 5 four times in a row..

  • Aumight_ Aumight (@Aumight_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey overwatch, if you're gonna force us to buy skins now, at least make it so the shop actually rotates, ive had enough currency from launch for a skin I could have easily bought in OW1 no problem, but now im forced to watch the same bundles show up every time my shop "refreshes"

  • bashvsthawrld bash (@bashvsthawrld) reported

    i don’t know how much more solo queueing into comp on overwatch i can do before something gets broken

  • ColorCoded97 ColorCoded (@ColorCoded97) reported

    The aim assist debate in Overwatch reminds of Kingdom Hearts 3 where basically it’s a misuse of terms or conflating of terms. Aim assist for aimbot and floatiness for clunkiness. Though it’s typically the problem of everyone not understanding nuance in 99% of the crap they say.

  • NHegwood25 Nate 🎮 (@NHegwood25) reported

    Yo @PlayOverwatch can you fix your ******* ranking system? I'm literally Bronze 5 and I'm getting paired with people who are also "bronze 5" but should be a ******* minimum of Gold 3-4. The player experience is in shambles. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch #Overwatchrp

  • Imnnse Aventus Imnse (@Imnnse) reported

    how do I fix my overwatch not opening

  • ImperialRemedy Remedy (@ImperialRemedy) reported

    Overwatch comp placements are broken…

  • Westbrook____ Westbrook (@Westbrook____) reported

    @NyanSox Almost like there was zero issues with overwatch lootboxes. You got them constantly with each level up, and 3 weekly from arcade.
